I tried for hours last night to decide how best to do this week's ALChoon video, but all I could come up with is an image of a bored person sat in a chair, tapping their feet.

.. If the video ends up being just that, I can only apologise!

-=-=-

The ALChoon itself came out quite nice, so I really do need to make something a bit more interesting for the video, I reckon.
Goodness me, all this work focused on ALChoons is leaving a great big hole in the regular AGameAWeek schedule, isn't it?!
I haven't even thought about what game to make this week, let alone get anything started.

Ugh, and the newsletter needs doing, too.. Aargh!!

Meanwhile...

On the subject of iOS games, Michael Fernie left us a list of possibilities..



I'd LOVE to do a JNKPlat on there, but having built the .com version and tried a LOT of different touch-controller based methods, I just can't put my finger (pun intended) on the right one.
The hardest part is holding the hold button whilst jumping, requiring two fingers over on the right of the screen. Where usually you only have your single thumb.
With physical buttons it's easy enough to slide between the buttons, but on a touchscreen, not so much.

Hmmm..

Kabooma Looma, Oh What a Dungeon and Flappaddidle Doo are all probably doable, as long as I manage to keep the touch controls down to a minimum.

Sheep Goes Left/Right were originally designed for iOS, and between the two had a grand total of *checks* 197 sales.

As for SpikeDislike, since it's re upload back in Feb 2020, it's had so few sales that I've not been getting Sales Reports emails for months.
Nah, that ship has sailed, I'm afraid.

Perhaps a mini-Browsercade might suffice?!

Or, even just a Cordova based duplicate of Browsercade?!

Not sure.
We'll see.

Of course, first I'd have to decide HOW I'm going to code for iOS.
It's been a LONG time since I did anything for it, and the last time I tried I was using Monkey-X, which I haven't used since 2018! The language itself has been abandoned, and I'm now on a Mac, so goodness knows how complicated it'd be to get that working again.

I don't think that's viable, if I'm honest.
Maybe I need to actually learn a new language for this..
.. hmmm..
